Eggbread, also known as eggfry bread,[1] was a dish cooked by soaking slices of bread in eggbatter and frying.[3]
Description[]
Eggbread was a savory treat that was never served as a dessert. Most commonly, it was served with various gravies, panfry drippings, and condiments made of spices like tamarind. Some travelers and caravaners were known for eating egg bread as a "desperation fare," dripped with molasses. However, that was not considered a proper way to consume the dish. The most common way to eat it was smothered in fat droppings from frying pork, topped with salted pork and cracklings.[1]
